Let $U_c(H)={u: u is unitary and u-1 is compact}$ stand for the unitary Fredholm group. We prove the following convexity result. Denote by $d_\infty$ the rectifiable distance induced by the Finsler metric given by the operator norm in…

Let $U_2({\cal H})$ be the Banach-Lie group of unitary operators in the Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ which are Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations of the identity 1. In this paper we study the geometry of the unitary orbit $$\{upu^*: u\in U_2({\cal…

Given a positive and unitarily invariant Lagrangian L defined in the algebra of Hermitian matrices, and a fixed interval $[a,b]\subset\mathbb R$, we study the action defined in the Lie group of $n\times n$ unitary matrices $\mathcal{U}(n)$…

We consider norms on a complex separable Hilbert space such that $\langle a\xi,\xi\rangle\leq\|\xi\|^2\leq\langle b\xi,\xi\rangle$ for positive invertible operators $a$ and $b$ that differ by an operator in the Schatten class. We prove that…

Let ${\mathcal B}(H)$ denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H\geq 3$, and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be subsets of ${\mathcal B}(H)$ which contain all rank one operators.…

We study the unitary orbit of a compact Hermitian diagonal operator with spectral multiplicity one under the action of the unitary group U_(K+C) of the unitization of the compact operators K(H)+C, or equivalently, the quotient U_(K+C)/…

Let $f$ be a symmetric norm on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ be the set of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ of dimension at least $n$. Define a norm on ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ by…

Given a complex structure $J$ on a real (finite or infinite dimensional) Hilbert space $H$, we study the geometry of the Lagrangian Grassmannian $\Lambda(H)$ of $H$, i.e. the set of closed linear subspaces $L\subset H$ such that…

Let U be an open subset of R^n. Let L^2=L^2(U,dx) and H^1_0=H^1_0(U) be the standard Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces of complex-valued functions. The aim of this paper is to study the group G of invertible operators on H^1_0 which preserve the…

Let $p$ be an even positive integer and $U_p(H)$ be the Banach-Lie group of unitary operators $u$ which verify that $u-1$ belongs to the $p$-Schatten ideal $B_p(H)$. Let ${\cal O}$ be a smooth manifold on which $U_p(H)$ acts transitively…

Let I be a symmetrically-normed ideal of the space of bounded operators acting on a Hilbert space H. Let ${p_i}_1 ^w$ $(1\leq w \leq \infty)$ be a family of mutually orthogonal projections on H. The pinching operator associated with the…

The irreducible unitary representations of the Banach Lie group $U_0(\H)$ (which is the norm-closure of the inductive limit $\cup_k U(k)$) of unitary operators on a separable Hilbert space $\H$, which were found by Kirillov and Ol'shanskii,…

The topology of the embedding of the coadjoint orbits of the unitary group U(H) of an in-finite dimensional complex Hilbert space H, as canonically determined subsets of the B-space T_s of symmetric trace class operators, is investigated.…

It is proved that for every surjective linear isometry $V$ on a perfect Banach symmetric ideal $\mathcal C_E\neq \mathcal C_2$ of compact operators, acting in a complex separable infnite-dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ there exist…

We show that a Lie group $G$ admitting a bi-invariant distance must be the product $G=H\times K$ of an abelian group $H$ and a compact group $K$ with discrete center. Moreover, the distance in $G$ must come from the infima of lengths of…

Let H be a separable Hilbert space, and D(B(H))^ah the anti-Hermitian bounded diagonals in some fixed orthonormal basis and K(H) the compact operators. We study the group of unitary operators U_kd = {u in U(H): such that u-e^D in K(H) for D…

We investigate questions of maximal symmetry in Banach spaces and the structure of certain bounded non-unitarisable groups on Hilbert space. In particular, we provide structural information about bounded groups with an essentially unique…

We define a symmetry map $\varphi$ on a unital $C^\ast$-algebra $\mathcal A$ to be an $\mathbb{R}$-linear map on $\mathcal A$ that generalizes transformations on matrices like: transpose, adjoint, complex-conjugation, conjugation by a…

Left invariant metrics induced by the p-norms of the trace in the matrix algebra are studied on the general lineal group. By means of the Euler-Lagrange equations, existence and uniqueness of extremal paths for the length functional are…
